Chapter 858 Proposing Again

Gu Mian: "......"

If she understood correctly, Pei Jianchuan was... proposing to her?

Could it be that spring has really arrived and her peach blossoms are in bloom?

Otherwise, why would someone propose to her two days in a row?

"Ahem." Gu Mian coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "Mr. Pei, please don't make such jokes."

It's really not funny at all.

She was scared enough by He Rufeng yesterday!

"You know I'm not joking." Pei Jianchuan said seriously, "Gu Mian, I have been waiting for you for the past two years, waiting for you to let go of Li Tingshen, waiting for the place in your heart to be vacant."

"I always feel that Xiaobao and I are more important than your other suitors. So Gu Mian, are you willing to give Xiaobao and me a chance? We have been waiting for you to become our family."

The smile on Gu Mian's face gradually froze.

She has always understood Pei Jianchuan's thoughts.

Although she has been abroad in the past two years, no matter where she is, Pei Jianchuan will go to her city to find her during the winter and summer vacations under the pretext of taking Xiaobao on a trip.

He maintained his sense of propriety, and she had no intention of exposing his intentions. After all, she had clearly rejected him before.

And she was also very happy to see Xiaobao.

And now that he was so direct, she naturally had to express her opinion.

Gu Mian apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, I can't promise you."

Pei Jianchuan didn't seem surprised by her answer. He just smiled bitterly and said, "I should be the one to say sorry... I just heard that the boy from the He family proposed to you last night, so I was a little anxious."

"And I know very well that you rejected me not because of others, but because of Li Tingshen... Gu Mian. You never let him go, right?"

"I don't know, but even without him, I wouldn't start a new relationship." Gu Mian said calmly, "In the past two years, I have learned a lesson."

"What?"

"The importance of love in our lives may not be as noble as we imagine." Gu Mian smiled, "In addition to love, there are many other things in this world that are worth cherishing, such as family, friendship, ideals, mountains, rivers, and seas, or like Sister Su Mei, carefully caring for every plant and tree, and we will all gain a sense of happiness."

"You're right, but people always have obsessions." Pei Jianchuan stared at her deeply, "Gu Mian, maybe you are my obsession."

"You can pick up obsessions and put them down." Gu Mian looked into his affectionate eyes, "Mr. Pei, you are a very strong person. I believe you have the ability to let go."

Pei Jianchuan took a sip of water and said, "I'll give you some good luck."

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, "Then I hope we won't make it so embarrassing again in the future."

"I'll try."

Pei Jianchuan quickly changed the subject and asked about the situation of Gu's Pharmaceutical, and then the two of them started chatting about work.

The meal was very harmonious.

......

After lunch, I went back to the Chinese medicine clinic to sleep.

She didn't sleep last night and went to the lounge to catch up on her sleep.

I don’t know how much time had passed before I was awakened by a rapid phone call.

Gu Mian answered the phone and his face changed. "I'll be there right away!"

She rushed to the hospital and went straight to the emergency room.

When I came out of the emergency room, it was already past seven in the evening.

"How is it?" He Rufeng asked anxiously, "Is my grandpa okay?"

Gu Mian took off his mask and said, "The situation has stabilized, don't worry too much."

"How can I not be worried? Why did my grandpa suddenly faint?"

"Mr. He is 80 years old after all. This kind of major surgery is a big test for an old man. However, he is in a stable condition now. If he takes good care of himself, his body will be able to recover to the level before the surgery."

"That's good." He Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Gu Mian, it's a good thing you're here. As soon as my grandfather fainted, I immediately asked someone to call you."

“It should be.”

"Let's add each other on WeChat so I can keep you updated on my grandpa's situation."

"Okay."

Gu Mian took out his cell phone and the two added each other on WeChat.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Gu Mian!" He Rufeng grabbed her wrist.

"Mr. He, what are you doing?"

As soon as Gu Mian opened his mouth, He Rufeng suddenly hugged him.

"Thank you..." He Rufeng choked up, "Xingze said that I can't marry you because his brother won't allow it, but I really want to marry you."

"It would be great if we could get married and take care of my grandpa together..."

Gu Mian was speechless. "You are a very filial boy. How about you pay for the medical expenses for the next year? This way, I can continue to take care of your grandfather with a legitimate reason."

He Rufeng: “…”

"I know you're not a money person."

"No, I am." Gu Mian smiled and patted his back. "Ten million a year, no cheating."

He Rufeng burst into laughter, "Gu Mian, you are so humorous."

"That's enough, little boy." Gu Mian pushed him away. "How old are you? Why are you still crying?"

He Rufeng pouted, "I'm usually very manly, okay."

"Okay, I believe you."

"Gu Mian, you are such a good person." He Rufeng said with a twitch in the corner of his mouth, "It's all Li Xingze's fault. He kept complaining about you in front of me, which made me misunderstand you. In fact, you are the best woman in the world."

Gu Mian: "......"

Li Xingze.

Sooner or later, she will settle the accounts with this cheap brother-in-law!

Gu Mian smiled at He Rufeng and said, "Go and take care of your grandfather. Just call me if you need anything."

"good."

He Rufeng left quickly.

Gu Mian was also preparing to go home. When he turned around, he saw Li Tingshen standing at the elevator entrance, looking at them with a gloomy face.

Gu Mian was startled.

It seems that the relationship between her and Li Tingshen is indeed complicated and difficult to resolve.

Gu Mian averted his gaze and turned to walk towards the elevator at the other end.

Li Tingshen's eyes darkened, and he immediately stretched out his long legs to catch up.

Before the elevator door closed, Li Tingshen followed in and blocked Gu Mian in the corner.

There were only two of them in the elevator going down.

The two people were extremely close, their clothes were sticking to each other, and Gu Mian could even feel his steady and powerful heartbeat.

Gu Mian's breathing became uncontrollable and he asked, "Li Tingshen, what are you doing?"

"What do you think?" the man asked instead of answering.

Gu Mian said expressionlessly, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Li Tingshen sneered, "At noon, I had lunch with Pei Jinchuan, and at night, I hugged He Rufeng... Gu Mian, you have a pretty good romantic relationship, huh?"

Gu Mian frowned, "You're following me?"

"So what?"

Gu Mian pursed his lips slightly, "Li Tingshen, don't go too far."

She hated being watched.

"Is it too much?" Li Tingshen's brows became colder, "Is it too much for you to have the best of both worlds?"

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened on the first floor.

Gu Mian pushed Li Tingshen away and strode out of the elevator.

She walked out of the hospital gate and was about to ride her motorcycle when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a force.

Before Gu Mian could react, Li Tingshen dragged him onto the Rolls-Royce on the parking lot.

“Get out of the car!”

The driver in the front seat got out of the car in a hurry.

Li Tingshen raised the partition, blocking the view in front.

Gu Mian was pressed into a corner by him, his face flushed with anger, "Li Tingshen, what on earth do you want to do!"

"Fuck you!"
